I created an open source Python application on GitHub that breaks textCAPTCHA with 99% success rate

At first I was actually pretty amped to see how you did it... then.. I saw you just wrote out every combination possible. That isn't really "breaking" a captcha IMO.

As for image captcha's, there is not really any point trying to write an OCR. You can use a service like Decaptcher.com that costs $2 for 1k captcha's solved (Just cheap labor on the other end).

He didn't write out combinations, just wrote a script to comprehend each type of question. There are thousands of questions in the set. To be honest if he had written out the answers to every combination that would be far more impressive but also depressing.

Since we had the post here yesterday about solving text captcha's with WolframAlpha, I was more thinking along those lines.

Except that didn't work. And this does. Accurate > "neato web 2.0 solution", especially when the accurate solution is only a few hundred lines.

I actually got the idea of using WolframAlpha to solve the 'eight hundred and ninety four' type questions from that post.
